Steps to reproduce

Start Mattermost on a setup with 2 monitors next to each other.
Maximize the mattermost app on the left screen.

Expected behavior

The desktop app should only be visible on the left screen.

You can see a 1px wide "border" overlapping onto the right screen.

It is only observable on the left screen. On the right screen everything seems fine.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue on Ubuntu 24.04.3 with two adjacent monitors, using Mattermost Desktop 6.0.1 and the maximize action. Trace the desktop window handling involved in maximizing across multiple displays; done means no visible border overlaps the neighboring screen while the app remains maximized on the left display.
